Warmed by your comfort.
It's just a normal day in the clubroom. Ayumu is sitting there all alone, chilling and listening to music, mostly ballads and lo-fi, because the whole crew has just finished discussing ideas for the next project for an hour. Bored and tired from work, she decided to go and take a nice walk to calm her stressed mind out.
When she headed back to the clubroom, she saw Ai in the clubroom, waving at the red-headed.
"Aren't you supposed to be home now? Why you're here?' Ayumu asked the blonde.
"Oh, because I feel bored and decided to come here alone." Ai said, with a mischievous tone. Making Ayumu unimpressed.
"Just kidding, I'm here to see you because you've been at the clubroom for 2 hours now. What's wrong" Asked the blonde.
"Oh me? Ehhh, I'm still busy finding a good idea for our next project, I know it's been tiresome but trust me, I'll make sure we'll make it!" Ayumu replied, not wanting to worry Ai.
"Well, since you're still here and all, how about having a nice talk in the clubroom?" Ai suggested.
"Huh? What do you mean by-" Ayumu hadn't even finished a word, when she heard Ai lock the door.
"What's with all the sudden, locking the door like that, Ai?"
"Oh, that? Don’t worry. I just want some privacy alone, you and me, in person."
"Make it quick." Ayumu takes a long sigh like a disappointed leader who's not impressed with how her members act.
"Look, ever since you've been picked as a leader and the president of the Idol Club, you seem to struggle with things a lot recently," Ai said, with a worried expression.
"Yeah, being a leader wasn't that easy, especially when I had to deal with a bunch of things and all the member's annoying stuff, like that." Ayumu replied.
"Hey, now. It's not that bad after all, you did lead the Nijigasaki School Idol Club into winning Love Live, right? So maybe, you still have the chance to make things shine your way, yeah?" Ai said.
"Yeah." Ayumu replied with a depressed tone.
"Aww, you're sad again? C'mere and give Ai-san a hug!" Ai cheered up with an open arm in front of her, Ayumu walked to Ai and hugged her, there were no kisses or anything, just a calm and wholesome 30-second hug, and Ai was motherly comforting the stoic red-headed.
"There, there, Ayu-pyon. You're fine now as long as you're with me."
"Thanks a lot, Ai-chan."
"So, wanna head home together after this? you still feel lonely, after all." Ai asked the red-headed.
"Yeah, I'm fine with it." Ayumu replied.
And so they both decided to pack things up and head home together, the hug was a positive energy that transfers into Ayumu so she wouldn't give up on herself.
